I’m already watching you play your boomer games crab lady!!

But fr, I wonder if Ami is a hag cause she played computer games like duke nukem and guest 7 growing up…or she just a nerd and enjoyed classic pc gaming.

So it's Vox's birthday today. Expect all the stops pulled out for him. He already has digital displays in London, Japan, Taiwan and China

It hasn't even been a week since he hit 600k and he's already got another 20k subs; say what you want, but for a male Vtuber, his growth's pretty insane and seemingly hasn't slowed yet. Socialblade suggests the guy could hit a million by July if this continues, and could overtake Kuzuha by the end of the year.

Boomer. . . I actually mentioned this to my dad today. Obviously the man doesn't give a shit normally about this crap, but I prefaced that he'd deal with my topics when I'm helping pull roots. I said 'one of those Vtubers, you know, the weird anime-streamers I watch, yeah, girl is playing 7th Guest, and Gabriel's Knights. Remember we used to play that shit when I was a child?'
If she isn't a GenX, she might be the kind of girl who played this shit with a parent in yonder days and want's to recreate the 'watchalong' experience for others. Shivers, The Journeyman Project, etc. . . would be awesome throwbacks.

Edit: Listening to the Apex stream though, some are asking the real questions. Mumei is a zoomer with an old heart. A heart only a decade younger, but she definitely has some latter 20's tendencies.

Stories about Subaru's manager are always good, seems like they are the only manager we hear frequent stories about. Also they do in fact not sell those character cards overseas (atleast not for reasonable prices outside of ebay) *sigh*

.

Fox english learning stream. Couldn't watch the whole thing yet, but from what i've seen she struggles a lot with how differently the words are put in order in english and japanese - so it's more trial and error than strictly 'learning' english.
I get that I shouldn't really expect any real progress to come from this, but atleast it makes for cute content i guess.

Phony seems to be the latest mass-covered vocaloid song in holo. Lamy and Kanata released their version last week, now it's Mio's turn. It's pretty good, but it's hard going up against suisei on a song like this.
Mio's voice excels more at softer songs in my opinion.
Still one of my favourite covers of that song:

Update on Kawaii Kon as of 3:19 PM. In the dealer place there's a giant crowd right at the DEMONDICE / Teddyloid merch shop, I think I see Teddy but no DD yet. Probably autograph signing is set.

I'm kinda late on this, but i found someone posted the setlist for the concert online and that seemed kinda short. Do you mind sharing how long the whole concert lasted / how much of it was the DJ solo or talking in between?

Crazy how much money and views Mikeneko's debut raked in. I hope the positivity does good for her. Also, while it was really poor at doing its job, it was a nice touch to add an auto-translator for what she was saying. She probably knew english speakers would be more sympathetic maybe.

Let's hope for her sake that she keeps looking forward and doesn't fuck up again. I'd have said the chance of her getting into another controversy would be higher now that she's an indie, but clearly having a tard wrangler in holo didn't didn't prevent that anyway, so maybe she'll be fine without one and occasional input from kson.

Also yea the auto-translation, while very wonky, is a good step and certainly better than nothing. Lets hope she keeps it up for longer than the first few streams or gets a dedicated translator (atleast for zatsu streams) like Subaru has.

She also talked about how she uses a Pringles can to catch mice by leaving bits of food in there and then scooping them up... but she consistently uses the same can so there may or may not be old mice remains inside.

Does she mean outside or like inside her house? I wouldn't have thought that would be a legitimate problem unless you live on a farm or something, but i'll admit i'm pretty ignorant in that regard. Still very in-character of her to use a pringles can.

So 522 is an important number in his lore if you've watched any of his content. Rumour has it that a collective group has organised 522 members to separately donate 1K per-super. Yes, you read right. Naturally we're accounting for currency per-region. But that's still likely going to result in more than £20K for the guy on his kayfabe birthday. In turn, those electric adverting billboards aren't cheap either. We talking a few grand per-spot. I've even seen artists, musicians and even indie game devs preparing material for the guy via social media.

Someone got a gorilla named after him:

I mean, I'm only 24 and 6 of my top 10 games are old PC stuff. HOMMIII Complete (with HD mod), SimCity 3000 and SC4, OpenTTD, RollerCoaster Tycoon 2, and Majesty Gold Edition.

Nagao is Holostars confirmed. I suppose it's appropriate that NijiEN's HoloID mega-fan would pull a reverse Risu.

It really does show just how powerful the combination of ikemen and deep British voice is.

she's a cheapo farm girl who manages to make a McDonalds value meal last for days

i'm surprised she doesn't try to add the mice to stew or something

In her defense, it was one of the few times she sounded legitimately disgusted when chat implied she probably ate something lol. Or just in general considering all the other weird shit she says or talks about.

SINCE I was sort of shilling it myself Nolan style: I might as well toss a few I specifically remember having a good time with during said karaoke. She didn't know all of it of course but man was she havin fun.
